The 16-inch stuffed toy has red and white striped pants, a blue and white jersey with the words USA 250 on it, and the smiling face of Donald J. Trump wearing a red, white and blue court jester’s hat.  Very appropriate.  Yours for $29.99....Liberty Paige, the prolific writer for SteveGruber.com, has made a suggestion that both Democrats and Republicans should be able to agree on.  In an article over the weekend, she recommended that Halloween fall on the last Saturday of October instead of the final day of the month.  “Moving Halloween celebrations to the last Saturday in October would make life easier for practically everyone,” she wrote. “Parents wouldn’t have to race home from work. Kids could enjoy trick-or-treating without worrying about homework or getting up early for school. Communities could organize safer, more elaborate events.” Agree!....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
